Easy Napkin Transfers for Polymer Clay

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I will demonstrate an easy transfer method using printed napkins. I'm using Premo white clay, ( rolled on the third thickest setting on my Pasta machine ) to make bookmarks. Please make a small test piece with your napkin, as a few of them won't transfer well. Burnish ( rub ) well and cure at the recommended temperature, covered for an hour. The waterbrush I used can be found at Art supply stores, and also on Amazon note: do a small test piece as not all napkins transfer as well as this one did

    These are absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to try it. I'm not sure about what you are using to color with though. Alcohol base inks I got, but what is that other little brush you were using? You are very good, don't be afraid to take your time with these videos. You don't have to hurry. We love watching. Thank you very much.

    I originally viewed this video a few years ago. I have enjoyed using your technique many times. I always mail my Christmas cards the weekend before Thanksgiving. Since discovering this video I include a bookmark/ornament with each card. Last year an envelope was torn in transit, the bookmark/ornament did not reach it's destination. My friend called and casually mentioned she would appreciate a replacement! (I use a metallic marker to add the year to each one, she said she 'wanted to maintain a full set'.) Patricia, you inspired a tradition I plan to continue for as long as I possibly can and I thank you for that.

    I know this is an older tutorial, but from my decoupage experience with separating napkins, slightly moisten your thumb and index finger and then just pinch the napkin between your moistened thumb and index finger by simply closing your fingers together and when you pul your fingers apart, the napkin layers will stick to your fingers thus separating the layers!

    If that doesn't work, it can do but doesn't always, take a sewing needle, pin or toothpick/cocktail stick and put it up from the edge between the MIDDLE folds and gently pry apart. I've found the middle folds yo be much more giving!

    Here’s a report on my first attempt, which used napkins from the Dollar Tree. Folks oughtta read this so they can avoid my experience. ☺️ Was at the Dollar Tree, which was closing, so in my haste, I grabbed the nearest package of napkins. They had a black and white zebra pattern with a border of hot pink with white bubbles. They were fun-looking. (Black and hot pink I see still my favorite color combo; I loved it during the New Wave era, and never got over it. So how lucky was I to find hot pink and black napkins? Not very, as it turns out!) Followed your instructions, Patricia, and burnished like crazy. Because the napkins were cheap quality, I didn’t exactly have high hopes, and my expectations were met, but in a funny way. After putting the test piece in the water, I noticed it didn’t take long for the napkin to peel off in one piece. Huh. Here are my results: The pretty hot pink came out a bubble gum pink (rats!), and had odd blank areas as if the napkin hadn’t made contact at all, which is strange because I burnished it so much, I wondered whether I mightta baked the clay a little bit. (I was almost overzealous in my burnishing.) But that wasn’t even the worst part: that would be where the back zebra stripes were. They came out a pale peach. Yes, you read the right: the black zebra stripes came out peach. There were also quite a few tiny black fibers in the peach, which made it look as if I’d used old, dirty, linty clay, and not Fimo Professional straight out of a new package. So my experiment went hilariously wrong. My suggestion, about which I’m gonna be strident: USE GOOD-QUALITY NAPKINS! A package of 20 from the dollar store won’t give satisfactory results. Yet again, the adage “You get what you pay for” is proven. But now that I know that it works in theory, I can’t wait to try it with “real” napkins, good napkins, with quality dyes. Since I see that it works with crappy napkins, I expect the result to be beautiful with beautiful napkins. This is why I’m cheerful about it: I learned something new, and got to test a new technique, which works!

    Thanks Ginger, I always suggest doing a small piece first to test it out. The burnishing is not hard, just make sure it's well stuck to the clay

    Important note for people trying this. Burnish, but don't go overboard. I burnished that napkin paper to the point that it got embedded almost in the clay. I spent half an hour scrubbing with a stiff bristles brush, soaking again, scrubbing again, until I managed to get all the paper off the clay. Yep. That's me. Patricia says "make sure you burnish well" and I make sure I burnish the heck out of it.

    Ok just wanted to post an update. One thing that is very important is to get good quality print paper napkins. The ones I got at the dollar store were gorgeous but the print was very "dotty" and on a small surface like a pendant did not look good. On bigger pieces looked just fine. Better print quality paper napkins I got from Hobby Lobby gave great results on smaller pieces. So that is an important thing to take into consideration when you pick your napkin. Wonderful technique, thank you for sharing it.

    Thank you, The dotted section can be ironed before using, it yields pretty good results- better than the dots I got when first trying. I've also burnished the section with a metal tool ( like a spoon ) and got good results too. So there is a fix for that.

    Lemme get this straight: all I need to do is to find gorgeous printed paper napkins? That’s it? No printer, no pens, no pencils, no liquid polymer, just paper napkins? Really? I feel a little bit like crying; I had a package of napkins with a 50s-style fabulous lady holding up her martini, and it sat on top of my fridge for about a decade because “out of sight, out of mind.” Just last week, after an accident with a bottle of olive oil, the unopened, unused, soaked-in-oil package went into the trash. I coulda had gorgeous, funky polymer design of a fabulous 50s-style lady had I seen this toute a week earlier! (waaaah! sob!) Well, now I know zactly what to do the next time I’m in a Kate Spade store looking for things I can afford again. Thanks ever so much for sharing this with us, Patricia! I have three non-working printers sitting here, and people in NYC charge stupidly, absurdly high prices simply to print a page for us, so this is zactly what I need. (And lucky me, I live next to a dollar store. Am crossing my fingers they have some lovely and funky patterns!)
